Does anyone have similar experience of oversensitive touchpad settings with T9?
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/trisquel-9-graphical-iso-available-testing?page=1#comment-146640
I am using two instances of Trisquel 8.0, one recently installed, the other one
installed shortly after its release. On the latter, only the "Home", "Desktop"
and "Documents" shortcuts are available in the Places menu of the menu bar. On
the other one, only "Home" and "Desktop" are available.
Thanks for the clue, this is the expected behavior then.
Thanks, I'll do that.
NB: I am also using Transmission.
This happened while trying to get Trisquel 9.0 (amd64) through

I tried installing the gnome-control-center, all it did was give me a
window of all the things I already have, including the non-functional
monitor settings... any other ideas???

I am coming to Trisquel 7.0 from Lubuntu 14.04. In Lubuntu a part of the

after the last boot???

You should be able to get MP3 support on Trisquel by installing the

And the best way. In my experience some devices, especially NICs, which
lspci will lead you to believe won't work in fact do when you try because the

None of the SBCs on the linked FSF page will run Trisquel, they use a
different CPU type / Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). It's a big ask for
any of those listed to run LibreOffice with having so little RAM.

The FSF listing has Raspberry Pi's as FATALLY flawed because they have a
proprietary boot blob run by the VideoCore processor which uses an
undisclosed ISA. The VideoCore controls the ARM userspace processor. I

The RPI 2 is using ARMv7 instead of ARMv6 which is more widely supported
